one problem with DTD validation here is that somewhere you have to
declare prefix mappings used in CURIEs throughout the document. But the
XHTML DTD for RDFa doesn't support additional xmlns "attributes" without
changing ATTLIST declarations.
So a document starting with
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:dbp="http://dbpedia.org/property/" xml:lang="en">
will not be DTD valid.
